- Imaging-Detected Incidental Thyroid Nodules that Undergo Surgery: A Single-Center Experience Over 1 Year
The authors describe the imaging and pathology results of 47 patients who underwent surgery for incidentally found thyroid nodules. All patients had biopsies before surgery but only 4% of these showed benign processes. Surgery eventually demonstrated that 51% of nodules were benign and when malignant the most common histology was papillary type.
- Orbital Lymphoproliferative Disorders (OLPDs): Value of MR Imaging for Differentiating Orbital Lymphoma from Benign OPLDs
After retrospectively analyzing MR images of 47 patients with proven orbital lymphoproliferative disease, the authors propose that ill-defined lesion margins suggest lymphoma whereas the presence of accompanying sinusitis and intralesional flow voids suggest benign lymphoproliferative disease. Lower ADC and contrast enhancement also suggest lymphoma.
